Photographer's Note

Another from our trip to Arches National Park in December 2009. As someone who is more suited for winter in south Florida, the 4 degree temperature that greeted us one morning took some getting used to. No matter, it was well worth it.

Hello, I really like the vertical format in your photo. I noticed that you use a flash and a long exposure. I think this is how you render such fine detail and DOF. The wood and rocks have a fine rich warm tone to them. Bearing the cold was worth it for such a beautiful winter shot of this park.

Great contrasts with very warm and pleasant colors combined with creative compo. Outstanding dof and lightning. Pure perfection! The texture of them snags is really what makes the difference. Well done!
